Are you looking for a way to increase the lifetime, capacity, performance and reliability of the power that supports your critical loads? Battery monitoring solutions provided by AMETEK Solidstate Controls can help with this by ensuring your batteries are ready to perform to their full potential.
The only time batteries may fail to carry your load through an outage is if they have gone bad or have not been properly maintained. Without batteries that are fully functioning, you do not have a reliable Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) system. Our ethernet integrated battery monitoring system uses web management technology to monitor the temperature, internal resistance and voltage of every battery in the given system and is CE, CSA, UL and NERC PR-005-2 certified.
In addition to the standard monitoring features listed below, our system utilizes a patented Equalizing/Balancing Process that calibrates the charging voltage of all batteries with the charger’s target value. This keeps each battery in its optimal voltage operating range. The balancing process prevents unintended overcharging and/or undercharging, eliminating the ill-effects of improper charging.
Standard Monitoring Features:
- Avoidance of over/undercharge, sulfation and outgassing
- Battery string charge/discharge current monitoring
- Calculation of battery State of Charge (SoC)
- Calculation of battery State of Health (SoH)
- Individual battery (cell/jar) voltage and impedance monitoring
- Pilot cell/jar and ambient temperature monitoring
- Individual cell/jar temperature monitoring for advance warning of possible thermal runaway
- Predictive analysis of possible battery failure
The battery monitoring system comes equipped with the alarms and reporting you need to ensure everything is running to expectation and to analyze issues. The reporting gives a complete event history log with graphical analysis and measures and evaluates the battery state of change. The system is equipped with alarm contacts that can be used for remote monitoring or battery disconnect function. Alerts for alarms can be sent via email, email-to-SMS, network messaging, SNMP and MODBUS ensuring that you never miss an issue.
